What's the point of this? Is it just to show off one's strength?
"Aren't you losing by doing this?"
The man with the airplane-shaped haircut couldn't help but ask a question.
"If you had dropped five atomic bombs into our ranks, we might have been able to turn the tide, but if you dropped them into our base, we could still easily destroy it."
"When did I say that I dropped the atomic bomb?" Lu Mingfei said sullenly.
"What?"
No sooner had the pilot finished speaking than a massive army appeared in his field of vision.
Leading the way were Terran battlecruisers, Protoss carriers, and Zerg corruptions. Dense ground units flanked them.
Which military unit is this?
Could this be a backup plan left by Lu Mingfei?
No, even if this is Lu Mingfei's backup plan, there are only two people on their side, one playing Terran and the other playing Protoss. Why would there be Zerg units in this army?
Wait a minute, Protoss?
"I'm here to help you!" Su Xiaoqiang screamed excitedly.
The plane switched the screen to that force and discovered that the large fleet of battle cruisers it had just seen was actually only a small part of this force, an advance force.
As the camera moves across the screen, the troop winds its way along, like a river with no end in sight.
A quick glance suggests that this force has at least five hundred units, and almost all of them are high-ranking soldiers!
Suddenly, the man with the airplane head remembered a way of playing as a Protoss that only existed in legends.
……
In StarCraft version 1.08, the Zerg are generally the strongest late-game race.
If a player has exceptional micro-management skills, the Terran race's late-game potential can rival that of the Zerg.
As for the Protoss, they are notoriously weak in the early and late game, and can only rely on a mid-game push. If they can't crush the opponent, they can only obediently type: GG.
However, the Protoss have a theoretically strongest late-game strategy: using Archons to capture peasants of other races and then using them to construct buildings for those races.
In this way, the Protoss can simultaneously possess the technology and units of the other two races.
But that's not the scariest part of this gameplay.
In StarCraft, the population cap for a single race is only 200. No matter how well you develop your forces, you can only produce 200 units. However, the population cap in StarCraft is not based on...
It's not calculated by the player, but by race.
In other words, it's not that a certain player can only have a population cap of 200, but rather that a certain race can only have a population cap of 200.
Therefore, once the Protoss acquires Terran and Zerg buildings, the maximum population cap for both Terran and Zerg will also increase.
Given sufficient resources and development time, the Protoss can have a terrifying population cap of 600.
This is why the Protoss are theoretically considered to have the strongest late-game potential.
However, this playstyle requires a lot of resources and development time. Generally speaking, the Protoss, who are weak in both the early and late game, won't even be able to build other races' structures before being overwhelmed.
Coincidentally, this game happened to be played on the rich resource map "Big Game Hunters".
At the same time, Lu Mingfei's gameplay was too dazzling, and his blocking tactics were too hated, drawing all the attention of the team, including the "Airplane Head" player, and causing them to ignore Su Xiaoqiang, a novice player.
This gave Su Xiaoqiang a lot of room to grow.
Under Lu Mingfei's guidance and with Su Xiaoqiang's own learning ability, she quickly created the Archon and immediately captured the peasants of the opposing Terran and Zerg races.
The crew, including Feijitou, assumed the warnings about the farmers being attacked that came through their earpieces were caused by Lu Mingfei blocking the entrance, completely unaware that it was actually Su Xiaoqiang who was capturing their own farmers.
……
Su Xiaoqiang was indeed a novice; her troop deployment was visibly terrible, and she had absolutely no idea how to command troops in battle.
But it's irrelevant now. With over 500 units, all high-level, they could easily wipe out the remaining enemy forces on the aircraft-headed side, even with full auto-attack.
While Su Xiaoqiang was still frantically clicking the mouse, he saw the airplane head type "GG" on the screen.
The other companies followed suit, typing "GG" one after another.
"What does 'GG' mean?" Su Xiaoqiang didn't understand, so she turned to Lu Mingfei and asked.
"'GG' is short for 'Good Game,' it's a compliment to your gaming skills."
"real or fake?"
"Really? You can ask them if you had a good time."
Su Xiaoqiang squinted at Lu Mingfei, looking at him suspiciously, feeling that he was lying to her.
She knew perfectly well whether she played well or not. Although she was the one who ultimately annihilated the enemy, Lu Mingfei was the one who directed her every move.
While he was fighting a 1v6 multi-front battle against the opposing team, Yu Yun was also teaching him how to play.
This guy looks pathetic, but he's pretty good at games. Su Xiaoqiang thought to herself.
"Impressive, impressive, I have to admit it." The man with the pompadour bowed and smiled obsequiously. "Sister Su, too, your skills don't look like those of a novice player at all."
If the guy with the airplane hair was a little angry and embarrassed when Lu Mingfei blocked his way in the game before, he was really defeated and convinced of his superiority this time.
In esports, skill speaks for itself. Was Ming Shen blocking the entrance an insult? No, it was a tactical maneuver!
They deliberately blocked the entrance! It was all a ploy to secretly switch the goods, draw the girl's attention so she could steal from your farmers!
Besides, if someone can carry a newbie girl and still manage to 2v6 you guys, then it's only right that you get humiliated by the god! In the god's eyes, you're just as good as bots.
While directing his underlings to go buy drinks, the man with the pompadour walked around to Lu Mingfei's side and respectfully asked:
"Ming Shen, what was your initial strategy? How did you manage to spawn so many people in just 8 minutes?"
"Oh, you're asking about Lu Bu's Sea of People?"
"Lu Bu's Human Wave?" The man with the airplane head was shocked by the name of this tactic, thinking that awesome tactics really do have awesome names.
"How about I demonstrate it for you again?" Lu Mingfei didn't hold back, after all, this tactic was nothing special in later generations.
A few years later, when StarCraft II was released and South Korean professional StarCraft player Lee Won-hyung shone brightly, this tactic became ubiquitous on the internet.
"Okay, okay." Hearing Lu Mingfei agree so readily, the man with the pompadour nodded frantically like a lapdog.
If there weren't so many people around, he would have knelt down on the spot and recognized Lu Mingfei as his godfather.
If you do not abandon me...
Two bottles of Coca-Cola were placed in front of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang respectively. The group with the "airplane head" hairstyle and others surrounded him.
Su Xiaoqiang also moved her chair next to Lu Mingfei out of curiosity, watching Lu Mingfei demonstrate the previous operation.
Lu Mingfei's fingers danced across the keyboard as if electrocuted, and the image on the screen flickered as if there was a malfunction. The expressions on the faces of the crew, including the man with the airplane head, changed from anticipation to shock, and finally to stunned silence.
"Have you learned it all?" Lu Mingfei asked, turning around.
"..."
The group looked dejected, thinking to themselves, "How could we possibly learn your APM?"
Compared to this tactic, the person who can execute it is indeed more terrifying.
……
After saying goodbye to the group, Lu Mingfei led Su Xiaoqiang off the plane.
"Gone?" Old Lei, the network administrator, greeted Lu Mingfei.
"Let's go, let's go." Lu Mingfei pointed to Su Xiaoqiang beside him, "To take our classmate to the station."
Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lao Lei curiously, feeling as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Old Lei seemed oblivious to Su Xiaoqiang's scrutiny, waving his hand to signal Lu Mingfei could leave. Just as he opened the door, Old Lei's voice echoed from behind:
"Remember, don't take side paths, try to stay on the main roads."
……
The internet cafe was dimly lit and cool, so when Lu Mingfei first stepped out, he was still a little unaccustomed to the glaring sunlight and hot air outside.
A refreshing breeze blew in my face.
"Hey." Su Xiaoqiang walked beside Lu Mingfei with her hands behind her back. "What did that internet cafe manager mean by what he said just now?"
"I don't know." Lu Mingfei shrugged.
"Okay." Su Xiaoqiang nodded, then lowered her head and remained silent.
At first, Lu Mingfei thought Su Xiaoqiang was looking at the ground, but when he followed Su Xiaoqiang's gaze, he realized that Su Xiaoqiang was actually looking at his toes.
She was wearing Prada lambskin sandals today, in quartz color. Lu Mingfei had seen the same style in a large supermarket in the city, and they easily cost over 6000 yuan a pair.
Su Xiaoqiang is of mixed Chinese and Portuguese descent, and her skin is whiter than that of most girls. The sandals make her skin look even whiter, and the blue veins on her fair insteps are faintly visible.
Her ankles were slender and delicate; her toenails appeared to be carefully trimmed, neat and tidy, without nail polish, yet they exuded a uniquely youthful pinkish hue.
Lu Mingfei looked at the Prada sandals Su Xiaoqiang was wearing and sighed.
He didn't even own a knock-off phone, yet Su Xiaoqiang casually trampled a Nokia N96 under his feet.
Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stopped.
Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang with a puzzled expression.
"Why aren't you moving?"
"..."
"Ok?"
"You keep staring at my feet, it makes me a little uncomfortable," Su Xiaoqiang said with a complicated expression.
"what?"
Lu Mingfei was taken aback, and then suddenly realized what Su Xiaoqiang meant.
Although I was looking at Su Xiaoqiang's Prada sandals, Su Xiaoqiang didn't see it that way at all.
She didn't feel like she was looking at her shoes; she only felt that his gaze was always locked on her feet.
"I..." Lu Mingfei, with his signature tongue-tied manner, "would you believe me if I said I was looking at your shoes?"
