Duels should be played with a smile.

As soon as Leyou's scout appeared, the swaying worker bee came to greet her.

None of the three peasant tribes are good at fighting, but their health is also low; if you poke them a few more times, you can still kill them.

After discovering that the scouts from Leyou had arrived, K didn't sense anything amiss, but a vague unease in his heart led him to temporarily leave some crystal ore behind and stop producing farmers. Instead, he sent a worker bee to build a hatchery.

Hatchery allows for the production of plenty of "Zerglings". Zerglings are fragile, but they can be produced in pairs. They are fast and have decent attack power, making them the main ground units for the Zerg in the early game.

In the early game, you can easily build a few Zerglings to defend against most harassment. If you build the Zerglings early enough, you can even rush the opponent's base directly—and if the opponent is not prepared, they might actually be overwhelmed.

However, that tactic would have a significant impact on their economy, so K did not intend to adopt it.

After the previous two matches, K has discovered that in this kind of real-time strategy game, economy is king!

With enough money, you can have an endless army. With enough resources, you can push through without even thinking!

K was still vivid in his mind that he had been blocked by Leyou's buildings and surrounded and beaten to death by his troops in the last game. He was determined to make Leyou pay for this!

"Wait?! What's going on?"

As K surveyed the limited territory using the tactics panel, a chill ran down his spine when he saw Leyou's scouts click on a crystal next to his second base.

He didn't know what Leyou was planning to do, but his past experience told him that when Leyou did something unusual, he was likely in serious trouble.

In a flash, K quickly went through the information in his mind.

"The Protoss's Pylons can emit energy fields, and Protoss units can warp through these fields remotely... Once his Pylon is built, he can directly produce units remotely to my base?!"

"wrong!"

"The timing is wrong. It's only been a short time since the game started. The Protoss barracks' warp gate technology won't unlock until the [Control Core] is built. He definitely doesn't have the time and resources right now..."

"Wait?! Could it be?!"

A flash of inspiration struck him, and the clues began to connect.

"This guy! He's going to build a bunker in my house!"

Bunkers are indeed defensive structures, but if you build a bunker in someone else's home base, it's hard to say whether it's still a defensive structure.

"We have to stop this guy!"

The hatchery is still under construction, and K cannot produce Zerglings yet. Helpless, he has no choice but to drag out a large number of worker bees to "encircle and annihilate" the troublemaking Detective and the crystal she just clicked.

The worker bees were fighting instead of mining, which was clearly a waste of their time, but... looking at his second base, which was almost finished, K really didn't want to abandon it.

He couldn't afford the time and resource losses from withdrawing from the second base.

A vast number of farmers rushed from the main mining area to the second mine, something Leyou had anticipated.

After clicking on a crystal, he immediately moved the scout to the other side of the Zerg's second mineral patch, where he had been saving the resources he hadn't used, and clicked on another crystal.

Anyway, the Crystal Tower is quite cheap.

After clicking on both crystal towers, Leyou's scout ignored the worker bees chasing her and headed towards K's main mining area.

Based on the progress of the second mine, Leyou could roughly guess that K was using a naked double mine, but just to be on the safe side, he still needed to scout ahead.

As expected, upon entering the main mining area, Leyou saw the hatching pool still under construction, and was immediately delighted.

Tanji wandered aimlessly around K's main mining area. Since all peasant units of each race moved at the same speed, none could catch up with the others.

To prevent Leyou from causing trouble in his base again, K had no choice but to send out several worker bees to intercept him. After a chaotic battle, Leyou's scout sacrificed herself.

"Little Jiji—"

With a emotionless "waile," Leyou smiled slightly and directed the second scout to arrive at the Zerg's second mine to begin the next phase of operations.

Ha, once they confirmed that the opposing team was playing a naked double team, Leyou's base almost stopped developing. Everything was for this wave on the front line!

While the first scout and the worker bees were chasing each other, the two crystal towers that Leyou had placed in front of him had been completed. Several worker bees were gnawing on the crystal tower that was closer to the main base, trying to destroy it with their not-so-sharp claws.

So, in K's blind spot, a spy popped out, ran to the side of the first crystal tower, and destroyed another crystal tower—and a photon turret.

"Just as I thought!" K cursed under his breath, sending all the worker bees near the second mine toward the photon turret that was under construction.

We must stop it!

"Tsk... I wouldn't have thought of that?"

Tanji took a few steps back, and just as the swarm of worker bees was about to make contact with her, she immediately placed a crystal and a turret in front of her.

Because of the appearance of the two buildings, the worker bees that were about to touch Tanji were inevitably pushed back a few steps.

This delay wastes another second or two.

When the worker bees took a detour to catch Tanji, Tanji had already completed her final mission.

She placed another crystal tower near the photon turret, and at that moment...

The four crystal towers have completely surrounded the photon turret, and the other side of the turret is still the edge of the map, making it impossible to attack the turret in melee.

Leyou didn't just randomly pick a location to build a bunker. Before placing the bunker, he had already considered using the map's terrain to reduce the need for defensive measures.

The turret's crystal tower defense line was already in place, and the worker bees' attack power was simply not enough. In order to prevent the worker bees from being killed by the soon-to-be-completed turret, K had no choice but to pull the worker bees back.

And just after the worker bees faded away, the photon turret was about to be completed.

The two crystal towers that were added later were also nearing completion, but they no longer needed additional protection. Just before completion, Leyou canceled the construction, recovering a significant amount of resources.

Upon seeing this, K immediately issued orders to his two main bases to produce Zerglings.

In the time that was just wasted, K's second base was already built—thinking that the base was tough and could provide larvae, K did not cancel the construction.

Both bases can have 6 larvae at the same time, which can produce 12 zebras, enough to chew up a turret. Although it is very economical, K knows that since Leyou has built so many things, he must not have much left at home.

It's nothing more than trading blows and exhausting each other's fighting style!

The first turret is located a bit far away and cannot directly attack your own base, so it can be completely ignored!

With two bases and the advantage of a large number of farmers and two bases, as long as we persevere, we are guaranteed to win!

But before K could even relax, the mischievous Tanji made another move.

The fact that the first turret can't hit K's second base doesn't mean it's completely useless.

Within the range of the first turret, Leyou estimated the turret's attack range and the location of K2's base. Around the midpoint between the two points, he took down two crystal towers and two turrets in succession.

Ha, if you can't hit the first turret, you can hit the second or third, right?!

From the very beginning, once Leyou decided to build the bunker, it never considered giving up!

Since we've already started building bunkers, we must keep building them until the very end!

The appearance of the four new buildings terrified K, who hurriedly dragged the worker bees that had just returned to mining out again and rushed towards the buildings that had just begun to be constructed.

The building didn't have much health when it first started construction, and with a bunch of worker bees attacking together, Leyou's first crystal was almost destroyed.

Just before it was set off, Leyou reacted quickly and canceled the attack.

Then, after having Tanji step back a few steps, she immediately created a new one.

This is the turret's attack range. In those few exchanges just now, K has already lost one worker bee.

At this point, the value of the first emplacement is fully realized.

Left with no other choice, K couldn't just watch Leyou poop on his head, so he was forced to continue pulling the worker bees along, stubbornly resisting Leyou's "invasion".

But the exact same scene played out again: cancel the construction, take two steps back, and start over. Leyou only lost construction progress and a few dozen crystals, but K actually lost several worker bees.

Finally, after a delay and the deaths of several worker bees, K's springtails made their grand entrance.

Like firefighters, they rushed to the front lines.

However... the fire is now too big for 12 puppies to put out.

With the addition of another turret, the three turrets unleashed a barrage of fire on K's second base. Even the 12 dogs couldn't withstand the turrets' firepower and returned empty-handed.

Seeing that his second base was about to be destroyed by the turret, K had no choice but to make a desperate gamble, pulling out all his workers and subsequent Zerglings to rush in.

However, after destroying one turret, his troops were almost wiped out, and Leyou built several more turrets, completely sealing off any possibility of K turning the tide.

K felt dizzy and couldn't calm himself down even after taking several deep breaths.

Finally, suppressing his anger and frustration, he opened the chat window and typed two letters.

"GG."

GOODLUCK

Chapter Fifteen: A Deception, A Sneak Attack!

"I'm playing Protoss this game, a normal start. What race are you, and how do you start?"

Just like in the previous game, Leyou once again used the chat flow at the start.

Perhaps because the previous match left a less-than-pleasant impression on K, K did not continue to choose Zerg, but instead changed the race selection to random.

The advantage is that it can disrupt the opponent's judgment, while the disadvantage is that the strength of using an unfamiliar race will definitely be reduced—but since everyone is just starting out, there is no such thing as proficiency.

I only played one game against Zerg, and I was killed by their bunkers right away with my naked double unit. I didn't even use any regular units other than Zerglings, so my proficiency with the race is practically zero.

As for Leyou... although he is the eldest son of God who likes F2A, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the other two races.

At the very least, they know more than their competitors.

Moreover... with countless tactics at his disposal, Leyou doesn't need to rely on any racial proficiency; all he needs to do is act as a porter.

All you need to do is make the corresponding tactical choices at the appropriate time points based on the games you remember.

"I'm still Zerg, and I'm still playing naked doubles this game. Go ahead and attack me."

A reply from K appeared on the tactics panel. Leyou chuckled and shook his head slightly.

It's obvious even to a fool that this guy can't possibly continue with a naked Zerg double-double build, and the Zerg build is also highly unlikely to be one.

The differences in the start of the game between Terran and Protoss are not actually that many. After excluding some extreme tactics, Leyou has also made relatively safe responses.

During normal operation, when the population reaches 12, a scout is sent to destroy a crystal tower, and then the scout is sent to the opponent's base to scout out the situation.

Indeed, Leyou was unusually honest this time, and after being randomly assigned the Protoss race, he truthfully revealed his race.

Whether K believes it or not is none of his business.
